At first, whether cell processing unit decision cell of the present invention is a kind of multicast (multicasting) cell, and whether decision sends the cell that duplicates to each user port, and comes translated title according to being stored in the control information of searching in the memory.
With reference to figure 2, comprise according to the cell processing unit that is provided with on user's plate of the present invention: cell duplicates and title translation controller 210; Search memory 220; With a plurality of user's output buffers 231 to 234.Cell duplicates to have with title translation controller 210 point-to-point communication cell demultiplex is given each output port, duplicated multicast (being point-to-multipoint communication) cell and translated title functions such as (VPI/VCI).Searching memory 220 is useful on decision and whether duplicates the required control information of title value (VPI/VCI) after the multicast cell is given the translation of each user port and each multicast cell of decision.User's output buffer 231 to 234 is made of FIFO (first in first out) memory, is used to be stored in the cell before user port transmits cell information.In fact, this buffer can be included in and be used for cell is sent to the transmitting element of user port.
With reference to figure 3, cell duplicates with title translation controller 210 and comprises: the counter 217 that is used to produce the sequential control signal; Be used for CPU (central control unit does not draw) is connected to and search memory 220 so that change the logical circuit be stored in the control logic circuit of searching the control information in the memory 220 and be used to receive the multicast cell.In addition, cell duplicates with title translation controller 210 and comprises logical circuit and the shift register 211 that is used for cell information is kept a scheduled time, and above-mentioned logical circuit produces the write signal that is used for the non-multicast of demultiplex (being point-to-point communication) input cell and produces and is used to duplicate the write signal that cell is imported in multicast.
As shown in Figure 3; counter 217 can be made up of radix 61 counting because handle for time of the 5th byte (title guard byte) of time of 4 byte header of the ATM cell of forming by 53 bytes of each port and transmission title and 48 byte payloads and be 61 bytes (i.e. 4 bytes * 4 bytes+49 bytes=61 bytes)., counter 217 is preferably formed (i.e. 61 bytes+1 byte boundary (margin) * 4 port) by radix 65 counters, so that distinguish the time border.
The exercise question of being submitted to by the applicant is at length to disclose in 94/30266 the korean patent application to be connected to the memory accessing controller 216 of searching memory 220 for the application number of " memory access control method of Memory Access Control Method inAsynchronous Transfer Mode Switching System in the asynchronous transfer mode switching system ".Buffer read/write signal generator 215 produces write signal according to priority or side by side and gives each user port according to the count value of counter 217.Shift register 211 response clock signals of being made up of 8 triggers are shifted 8 bit data, and duplicate with title translation controller 210 decision when whether producing title and searching signal and write signal at cell, with this data delay.
Simultaneously, the title of input cell has the position of inspection, is used to determine that cell is point-to-point communication cell or multicast (a bit to multiple spot) cell.Comprise this cell of checking the position in case receive, just as Fig. 5 is said, handle the input cell according to cell processing unit of the present invention.
With reference to figure 5, according to the inspection position that is included in the title, check that the input cell is multicast cell or point-to-point communication cell in step 501.As to look into the input cell be the point-to-point communication cell, and cell duplicates with title translation controller 210 in step 505 just the cell demultiplex, and the cell behind the demultiplex is sent to of correspondence in the user port.
Fig. 4 a explanation is arrived under the situation of port #2 by demultiplex at the point-to-point communication cell, prepares to deliver to the input data of user's output buffer 231-234 and the sequential chart of write signal.At this, the output of the count value of response count device 217, and produce all write signals simultaneously, and no matter be that port, as the dotted line representative.The produced simultaneously reason of write signal is because the title of input cell is to produce at this synchronization.
At the input cell is under the situation of the multicast cell that should duplicate, and cell duplicates with title translation controller 210 and reads output control information position (4) according to the vpi/vci value of cell from searching memory 220 in step 502.In step 503, check whether be provided with control bit, so that determine to duplicate the port of cell according to control bit.If do not put control bit, cell duplicates with title translation controller 210 and just reads the output vpi/vci value of each port in step 504 from searching memory 520, and this vpi/vci value is sent to user's output buffer 231 to 234.Then, according to above-mentioned control bit, cell duplicate with title translation controller 210 in step 507, according to the output of the count value of counter 217, in turn produce each write signal.
Fig. 4 b explanation is being provided with control bit, thereby will duplicate cell under the situation to all ports the sequential chart of input data and write signal.Fig. 4 c explanation is imported the sequential chart of data and write signal under situation about will duplicate cell to port one and port 3.At this, each is turned over the heading message of selecting is made up of 4 bytes, and payload is made up of 49 bytes, as described.
Simultaneously, if the input cell is not the multicast cell in step 501, cell duplicates with title translation controller 210 should import the cell demultiplex in step 505, and after in step 506, producing title, cell duplicates with title translation controller 210 and does not produce write signal, and in 12 byte clock times transmission data, so that regulate the control timing of multicast cell, by this way, cell duplicates with title translation controller 210 and at first reads 4 bytes, after 12 byte clock times postpone, read remaining byte then.In case finish the operation that produces title, just produce 49 byte payloads, and produce write signal to such port in step 507, produce the write signal relevant at described port with described title.
